MorningJoe keeps showing “Emotional reunions in Israel”!

Nothing, nothing whatsoever of the reunions in Gaza. All Israel, all the time. The dehumanization of Palestinians continues uninterrupted by genocide.

The intent here seems unmistakable, in two ways: (1) just read the genocide convention, here it **absolutely** is, and (2) this level of infrastructural destruction is, no question, meant as pre-development demolition.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2
